The prospects of scooping up the Euromillions jack-pot is a distant 1 : seventy-six million but the prospect of winning a cash prize is a somewhat decent 1 : twenty-four. If the jackpot is not won on a given lotto draw, it is carried over to the following week which results in an ever increasing jack-pot prize. New rules added on the 09 February 2007 set the number of consecutive rollovers to 11, with the jack-pot rolling down to lower value levels in the eleventh draw if the prize is not collected.
The Euromillions lotto or the Euro lotto, as it is ordinarily better-known, pools the lotto ticket receipts of the 9 partaking Euro countries showing a enormous Euro Millions jackpot. With the number of countries joining the Euro on the increase, this will without question will lead to even more countries partaking in the Euro lotto. A growth in the number of individuals partaking in the EUROMILLIONS will result in a lasting increase of the already immense Euro Millions jackpots.
The recent rules likewise initiated EuroMillions Super-Draw which come about twice annually plus they offer jackpots in the region of 100 million pounds. The difference with Super Draws is that the jackpot must be collected during the week of the draw; as a result, if there is no ticket matching, all the numbers drawn and the top prize will then be distributed to the ticket bearer(s) on the next winning prize level.
Each and every participant must select 5 main numbers from 1 to 50 plus 2 Lucky-star numbers from one to nine. During the draw, 5 primary plus 2 lucky star numbers are then selected at random from 2 draw machines containing numbered lotto balls.
